Total revenue for the year down 16%? Did I hear that right? That keeps us out of the red so far, yes? :)

I am saying that there are 700 new hires. Not furloughing 700.

I see 150 or so furloughs at best. The summer 2010 sked has not been cut yet. They can run the summer 2010 sked with 150 less guys that is it.

Yes, 18+% is in the red. Wait for the fuel jump to kick it. We will be in the red.

At that meeting I happened to attend, Dickson said anything over 18% put us in the red. So, its probably just a matter of time.

Do you mean that is the best case scenario, or you don't think there will be any more then 150?

Any verification if these are additional cuts or previously announced? Any word on domestic capacity?

Just mainline, or DCI's as well?:mad:

5% more international and maybe 2& more domestic.

I'm sure more RJ cuts are coming.

Edit: More 50 seat leases ending in the next 2-3 years. Contracts coming up. 200 shell size for 76 seaters. Makes me think they are looking at the 100 seaters now. The war continues.
